So if you know so much, why are you pestering me!?!?!?

And from what I can see from the link to 1fast400.com.. Mike's report says the sugar is a BIT higher then reported. I can see being off by a gram or two... but there is a pretty big gap between what the Detour label says and Mike's report.

And Mike's report coinsides with the one I'm trying to get from Shuster lab's and the rumor that Met-Rx has a similar one.

Damn I hope that person mails me today..

Just sharing the wealth (oh wait I don't have any of that), I mean the info.
Kind of like throwing a math problem out there that you know the answer to but never sharing it...... Ok, going back to my cubicle, sounding way too geeky

Since Mike's report they have changed their label claims. Personally I don't see much big a difference, since it did not effect the total carbohydrate count or the total kcals.

BTW, Mike did post the lab report, and he is a verifiable person (i.e. I know Mike, have met him, talked to him on the phone, and trust him).

The latest info I received from the person who posted when I asked for the report was:

"Since my last post on the Detour bar, the formula has been changed by the company several times..All I know at this point is that the sugars have come down somewhat by removing most of the caramel..Protein claims have also come down slightly..Right now, were not sure what the #'s are on the bar, but we have recent batched bars in for testing..I will make them available when the results come back.."

I will follow up and post when I have more available, concrete evidence.

I believe they changed more than just the label though, as the taste changed quite a deal too. I wonder if this is the reason for the varying results.

 

[mda1125]

Absolutely. Not only has the label changed several times but the formula has also changed. Less carmel to bring down the sugar. Protein apparently has changed as well. (can't give numbers as I don't have the facts)

The varying results are exactly based on what you said. They have changed more then just the label, the taste has changed (well I assume it has based on your comment as I've never tried them) and the results have changed because there has been several tests since Day 1.

The results will continue to vary apparently until they finally make their label and what's inside match.

At least that is what I'm starting to believe after researching this a bit more in details.

I wish I had the latest report but 1Fast400 did a nice report (thanks to Twin Peak pointing it out) and posted it. It's in direct conflict with what the Detour bars on that same site are claiming to have in them.

Sounds on the mark man....and I believe the results 1fast400 has ( while very much appreciated....we need more people doing what he`s been doing ) are reguarding the original version of the bars, which may or may not accurately represent what they have become currently.....

 

[mda1125]

Agreed. From the reply I received.. it sounds like the label and formula have changed. I'd like to see more recent numbers as well.

I will attempt to follow that thread and see if it materalizes.
